Overall Assessment

Customers appreciated the product for its quality and effectiveness with features like cooling tubes and additional fluid capacity enhancing the performance. The well-designed transmission pan fits perfectly with improved cooling, proving ideal especially for bracket racers. It also brings a noticeable improvement in heat reduction on highways, reinforcing its practicality. Some users suggest modification needs for a shallow filter and sensor fitting adjustment. It's not recommended for specific truck transmissions, and a suggestion was made for a flat Allen head drain plug for better ground clearance. Despite these small challenges, customers would buy it again due to its solid design and functionality.

top notch trans pan

Installed on my 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I use the truck for towing the boat or car trailer. Pro:Great design with cooling tubes. All the bolt holes line up, gasket surface is flat, no leaks. It Does requires a shallow filter. Con: the temp sensor fitting points straight to the exhaust pipe and heat shield, useless. Drain bolt points straight down. if this is used for off road I would need to relocate it. On my truck the air flow to the trans pan is blocked buy the skid plate and engine. I made a little air diverter from aluminum to help direct air flow to the tubes. I used aluminum so it would crush on impact and not damage anything around it. I do not have a temp sensor so I can not monitor the difference.

Put on a 700r4 in a 84 c10. Fit perfectly without modifying the transmission cross member but j will say the back bolts were a little tough to get to. But looks great and the drain plug and hole for temp sensor right in the pan makes it easy to maintain and monitor.

I had always been interested in this style of after market trans pans since I first seen the ads for them back in the early 80's. I thought this is a good idea, extra fluid and air flow tubes cast into the pan to help keep it cool. Perfect for a bracket racer.Well now I'm finally building my bracket car, and I want to make sure hot trans oil temp won't be an issue...
